The incident that inspired Chris Pratt
The 43-year-old actor once got lost in a Minnesota mall, as a kid. This was while he was shopping with his family and none of them noticed that he was actually lost. And that is how it all began, the struggle, the motivation, and the urge to become someone who doesn’t go out of notice.
During his interview with Entertainment Tonight, he highlighted the incident that made him step foot on his path.
“I was walking in the mall holding, I thought, my mom’s hand. And then I just looked up and she wasn’t there and I was lost in the mall. I started to cry and some adult stranger, by the grace of God, not some weirdo, found me and brought me back. We started looking around for my family [for] what felt like ages, finally found them – they were shopping and didn’t even notice I was gone.”
This made him think about it, while also motivating him to become a successful actor. He further stated,
“I think from that moment forward I was like, ‘If I’m in the room, I’m gonna be loud.’ And I’m gonna be noticed and I’m gonna make sure everyone knows I’m there just in case I get lost. They’re gonna actually notice me. I really think that’s why I became an actor.”
